The risk of death dropped by 12%! Loving to post on WeChat Moments can actually make you live longer?

Do you like posting on Moments? Recently, many friends have told me that there are fewer and fewer traces of their lives in their Moments, and some have even closed their Moments, thinking that it is more relaxing. But is posting on Moments really a burden in life as we think?

In fact, more than 100 years ago, French sociologist Emile Durkheim studied suicide rates in Europe and found that lack of social connections was one of the factors leading to high suicide rates.

Another survey published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that people who frequently use social networks have a 12% lower overall risk of death, and even the risk of death from cancer and coronary heart disease is reduced. Those who frequently receive friend requests have the lowest risk of death. This shows that maintaining social connections and social support is very helpful for our longevity.

The study also found that people who like to post photos have an average 30% lower risk of death than those who like to post texts. Although the specific reason cannot be found for the time being, scientists speculate that it may be because photos can better reflect a person's rich social life than pure text content.

In our society, there are many forms of love: family love, friendship, romance, and even care from strangers. These are called the emotional components of social support by psychologists. They make us believe that we are loved, cared for, respected and valued. They are unique and precious things in our human society.

Posting on Moments is not the only way for us to connect with friends and family. Moments is only one aspect of our social life, but these connections may very well be our only support in difficult situations, and they become a handle to resist the emotional vortex when we feel anxious or depressed.

There is a good saying: "If you don't have that many viewers, you might as well live boldly." Some desires do need to be restrained, but the desire to share does not. That's all for today, see you next time.
